Just because Turkey changed its name does it mean that every website must adopt the new imposition

They almost nailed it, but existing laws don’t go far enough.

Individually targeted algorithmic recommendations should be banned entirely. They give American tech companies way too much power over the collective information environment of Europeans, they promote addiction and brainrot, and they encourage and normalize data collection.

Australia went the worst route, requiring age verification to have an account which is something that has nothing to do with the problem and causes a tremendous privacy violation for the end user.
